All I'm saying is that KOEI has made some... different... decisions lately. So I wouldn't expect anything crazy is all, as you're probably just getting your hopes up to crush them back down, and thats my last post on the topic of crazy additions.

Anyway what I really liked in DW5:E was execution. They should branch into something more with that.

to the new guy: he looks like a mix of Magoichi Saika and Jiang Weis Dad (or more likely a older version of him) but hes not so much interested for an Empire game, only if they have some new mode now with a story line.

a lot improvement of caw?!?!?! wow i really love caw, i spend the most time creating charakters and use them! cant wait for more infos. i hope that the color menu is something like that from SW3 this was really cool and u could use it for the main charakters, too.

would be cool if they add some "guest charakters" the Mystic Team, Nemea and so on cause they have the DW fighting system included (some of them have already an ex attack), so it would fit

and i really hope its kinda a mix of Empires and Kessen, for a great tactic and enemy analyse system, where u can chose some different options and weapon sieges

Well let's hope you have the option to build over 100 ballistas in your castle just so that your enemy can NEVER invade your territory ever again!

same here i'am currently playing Musou Orochi 2 as there will always be new dlc being released!....My first impression of the newly added character looks like Saika Magoichi,he has a fist sword as his default?Interesting....why is Shu getting a new character and in an empires game? IMO wu and the others especially Yuan Shu,He Jin should be added as playable generals,for wu if they added another character Zhu ran,dong xi,zhuge Jin or Han dang,it will be perfect for me..... hope that there will be more updates to announce 2 or 3 new characters as DW7:E is nearing its release date in sep!!

great! i'll have my hubby charge it from yesasia.com! but i agree with SRS why Xu Shu?

why not jiang wan, liao hua, or fa zhang? xu shu served in wei, but even in wei, he never actually served... um i think koei made an error here. or perhaps they are just making him for the empires game just to give fans a chance to play as Xu Shu??

At this point, I simply hope for the game to get confirmed for an overseas release? And i wonder if their sticking with pure jap dubs. Being completely American and in no way Asian I would prefer the English but I like the Japanese too. And its about the gameplay anyway.

well, im not going to say Xu Shu was the greatest choice. I still don't think we needed another Shu character and certainly not yet another strategist for Shu (though, someone before mentioned that Xu Shu was guiding Liu Bei before Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang. So, I suppose in that light it makes some sense).

However, I'm not totally torn up about it. Generally, I appreciate new characters in general. Yeah, i'm one of those people. Frankly he isn't the only one whose career was short lived. Pang Tong only has like...what, Chengdu and a brief little stint at Chibi (and that's if KOEI opts to give that to him at all). He manages to be useful, granted I don't know that his accomplishments can even be compared to Xu Shu whose defining moment was probably recommending someone better for Liu Bei (Zhuge Liang).

I think i'll continue to be slightly bothered by the fact that he is another Shu character, the strategist aspect is bother me less and less. But I will wait to see how worth it he was when I see what they do with him....which, granted, might not be for another year since Empires has never been a deeply story driven game (unless they opt for a story mode this time, which would be neat). Who knows, his role in the overall story might have him become an all time favorite...

If you don't bother to read the rest of it, i'll just add: I do still hpe for at least 1 new character for Wu, Wei, Jin (and others...but that doesnt seem likely)

Executions need to be brought back, for sure. Those screens look pretty good. And the marriage system could be expanded upon, too. But yeah, I'm excited

I have to agree there. We need Executions in this game. Diaochan in DW6 Empires is more than enough reason to not only justify them, but require them.

Definitely. But I think there should be some sort of cinematic sequence for the executions instead of "Quote, Slashed, Dead". Maybe not on the level of graphic reference, but there should be something more to it.

And I miss the unlimited Empire Mode time. I used to be able to level up most of the characters within a single playthrough of DW5: Empires (which took one week). And I miss actually retaining my stats after playing through Empire Mode. (I hate starting fresh)

Indeed. THe execution should be like the condemned being lead to the spot and then they share glances or words the main ruler one last time and it could spread tyranny which and shows that you could go one path or another.

You know what would be the most crushing blow for me at this point? If they localize the game but not dub it in English, because, "the fans liked WO3 in Japanese so that must mean they don't care about English dubs!"

That's actually my biggest fear about these games in general, even bigger than them getting localized at all.
